Contest winner is going to Sicily

Contessa Vacations gives away vacation week for two

Colleen Cole from Brampton, Ontario is the lucky winner of our popular contest to win a culinary and cultural vacation in Ragusa, Sicily.

Colleen is marrying John Sinipoli in October, and now has a ready-made honeymoon dropped in her lap. Not surprisingly, she is thrilled to twitters! This baby boomer is off to Italy, a dream come true.

This is what she told us, once she’d calmed down from the excitement …

“I can’t express how excited I am to have won the week in Sicily! The food, the wine, the excursions we will be taking into the country visiting dairies and olive groves, and the nightly cooking classes, I don’t know which is more exciting! This will be the best wedding present ever! John and I are getting married in October, and I am pleased to tell you that we will be enjoying this week as our honeymoon! Thank you so much!”

Colleen and Tempo Toronto thank Contessa Vacations for this amazing prize. Colleen will let us all know about her fabulous trip in the fall.
